Xmas scented candles

I want to buy some lovely Xmas scented candles. Where's the best place to buy them reasonably priced and ones that last that have a decent scent.

M and S have some frankincense and cinnamon ones, which smell lovely, but at £5 each, I don't really want to spend £20 on candles.

Recommendations please

    Have you tried Yankee wax melts, you just pop them on top of a burner and they release the fragrance when the wax tarts. They really smell lovely and fragrance the whole room. They do lots of scents and usually have a good xmas range. You can also buy them in sampler and jar form but i prefer the tarts as find them more fragranced.
  • Hi daisyflower,

    I've never heard of yankee range. Where can you buy it and how much are they?

    Woolworths have tinned scented candles for £1 each. Lots of lovely 'flavours'.... but not sure how they smell when lit?
  • Ikea have a pack of 42 scented candle tea lights for £1:89, and they actually smell nice!
    Also dunelm mill stock a nice range, cheaper than the yankee range, but as good imo

    Peacocks have some nice ones in at the moment. Large one in a glass jar for £3 and 4 small tea light sized ones in glass holders for £4. I got vanilla but they had a 'spiced cranberry' too. They scent very well when lit.

  • My sister got some tesco finest candles from the pound shop. I have also seen other 'brand' names in my local pound land shop. You might find something in there too.
